Good DI boxes?

Natima · 5 Jun 2009 at 03:55

Hi, I'm looking for a good DI box to record with.
I'll be going into an amp sim; either Guitar Rig 3, or Amplitube 2.
The market seems to be flooded with DI boxes, and there are next to no reviews for any of them.
I dont want an DI box for live use, or to sit after an amp like the Red Box, Just something that I can plug a guitar or bass into and get a great sound.
Budget is about £60 each, I'll probably get two.
Do I even need to spend that much? I just dont want to get a Behringer or something of equally low quality.

I'm dissapointed! I was under the impression OcUK knew everything in the world.
Tut tut chaps... after a whole year of OcUK this is the first time I've been let down. Just kidding... but seriously? Nobody used any good DI's?

We do know everything in the world

There is nothing wrong at all with the Behringer DI boxes. I can vouch for the Behringer DI-20, they are very clean and do a wonderful job of removing earth loop at an amazing price. Granted many of Behringer's products are poor quality but their DI boxes are very very good.

BSS or an EMO one.

I'd recommend having a look around ebay or cash converters for a native instruments rig kontrol 2. I've seen them around for a decent price, and having had one for about 2 years, I can say they're great quality.

If you're going to be buying amp simulation software, why not get a hardware and software bundle?
